FOOD 3D Printers will be the first to mass market, who doesn't want a star trek replicator.
Probably have pods of raw ingredients from the manufactures for "authentic flavour"

3D gun scare is unfounded, because you can buy $20 worth of scrap at a hardware store and make something reliable that you can put bullets into and fire them.
You can easily make something that would fool a metal detector without a 3D printer.

The bullets are the issue, not the barrel and firing pin.

Theism is to believe what other people claim, Atheism is to ask "why should I".

They shouldn't call them food 3d printers. They should call them food preparation machines. Nobody is going to buy a food 3d printer unless it does more than create parts of a meal, like put the parts together. (like make a grilled cheese, or make buns to an burger and assemble it.
